Piura Cacao Beans – Peru
Price range: $59.99 through $299.00
Description
Pirua cacao beans come from the Piura region in Northern Peru, an area known globally for producing some of the rarest and fine-flavor cacao in the world.
Piura cacao beans are known for having one of the brightest and most distinctive flavor profiles among all Peruvian origins.
Typical tasting notes include:
- Citrus
- Red fruits
- Floral aromas
- Malt
- Light nutty or almond background
- Very low bitterness
These beans produce chocolate that is vibrant, fruity, refined, and aromatic.
Environmental characteristics:
- Dry, semi-arid climate (unique for cacao)
- High sunlight hours
- River-irrigated valleys
- Altitudes between 100–800 meters
This unusual terroir intensifies acidity, brightness, and fruit aromatics in the beans.

- Often cultivated in agroforestry systems with native trees.
- Limited and seasonal production → premium and rare origin.
